When you want to give the outside of your home a serious makeover, you might be looking to change up the color combination of the property. There’s many different color combinations that can make your home look great. Whether your home has siding, brick, or stone, there’s a color combination for you. Below, you’ll find some color combinations that you can consider for your home. 

Gray, Blue, And White

Whether your home has a stone exterior or is just plain white, you can use these three colors in a great combination to accent the home. White brings about brightness while the darker tones of blue and gray bring out your front door and window trim, creating a silhouette of sorts.

Brown Green And White

If you’re looking for earth tones, this is a great color combination for you. These nature inspired shades can create a beautiful oasis on the outside of your home. You can choose light and dark shades that complement one another in order to bring a dramatic affect to your home.

Peach White And Gray

This color combo can add a stimulating visual effect to the front of your home. The white can be used to highlight your home’s accents, while the darker grays can add some depth the color scheme overall. 

Other combos to consider:

• Gray, red, and white
• Brown, red, and green
• White, black, and gray
• Cream, yellow, and black
• Red, brown, and orange
• Greens, browns, and creams
• brown, tan, and blue
• Blue, white, and black

Remember that very color palette needs a foundation. The establishing color is the one that will overtake the majority of the outside of your home. Remember that you need to consider all of the accents of your home including the door, window trims, and shutters. Even if you don’t want to take the dive and change the entire color of your home, you can consider changing just the accents of your home. Sometimes even just adding a coat of paint to the front door can really spice up the outside of your home.

When All Else Fails, Stick With The Classics

While pops of color can always look wonderful in a color scheme on your home, if you’re afraid to think outside the box, you might want to just stick to the classics. You can never go wrong with neutral colors, especially when you use them together. Try different color combos at the local hardware store, or even try a few paint samples before you make a firm decision on your home’s makeover.
